Dehradun: On an indefinite fast for the health of River Ganga, activist Sant Gopal Das has disappeared from the Doon Hospital in Uttarakhand's capital city of Dehradun. Police officials were informed of the activist's sudden disappearance by hospital authorities on Wednesday. Responding to the complaint, local law enforcement agencies have launched a manhunt to locate Sant Gopal Das who had begun an indefinite fast for the cause after the death of activist GD Agarwal, also known as the late Sant Swami Sanand.

According to reports, Sant Gopal Das was recently shifted from All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in New Delhi to the Doon Hospital in Dehradun. Chandra Mohan Singh, the circle officer tasked with locating the missing activist said that CCTV footage is being explored to track the movements of Sant Gopal Das and his followers.

Gopal Das' mentor, Sant Swami Sanand died on the 112th day of his indefinite fast to save River Ganga from its impending doom. After his death at AIIMS, Rishikesh, his disciple and fellow activist Sant Gopal Das launched an indefinite fast to further the cause for which his mentor and celebrated activist GD Agarwal sacrificed his life.

While the central government maintains that it intends to clean the 2,525 km-long rivers, ground reports suggest otherwise. Despite tall claims, recent reports have established that no steps are being taken on the ground to clean or revive the river which is considered by a majority of Indian citizens. A recent report by Down To Earth has voiced a common advice shared by activists and experts who believe that the solution to save River Ganga begins with the disbandment of the Central Water Commission.

Deeply disturbed 2 see Sant Gopal Das ji who's been fasting for past 25 days demanding clean Ganga & grazing land for cows. Central Govt came to power on issues of Hindutva, Cows & Ganga and doesnt bother about a Hindu saint! If something happens to him, who will be responsible? pic.twitter.com/PHv2i66smO
